ESTA

ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) is not a Visa - it is an authority to travel: All foreign national (except Canada and Resident Alien) pax to the USA who do not have a Visa in their passports (in other words, who are traveling under the Visa Waiver Scheme) will need to complete the online application prior to travel to the USA.

Completeion of the ESTA details does not guarantee entry into the USA, but does permit the boarding of an aircraft heading for the USA.

January 12th is the Go-Live date. The good news is that having completed the procedure, the information remains valid for 2 years, or until passport expiry if sooner.
